Council Vacancy

The Mountain View City Council decided at its Jan. 5 special meeting to move forward with an appointment to fill the vacant seat left by the departure of former Councilmember Sally J. Lieber. Lieber resigned from the City Council following her election to the California State Board of Equalization in the November 2022 general election. Her resignation was effective as of Dec. 30, 2022.
